A 32-year-old office worker visited us at 21 weeks pregnant due to worsening pelvic pain, along with pulling pain down the side of hip. The pain made it uncomfortable to walk, sit for long periods at work, and turn in bed at night. She was also experiencing frequent waking, bloating and fatigue throughout the day.
What was she experiencing?
Her main concerns included:
- Pelvic pain while walking
- Pulling discomfort along the outer hip
- Pain after prolonged sitting
- Difficulty turning in bed
- Discomfort during everyday activities
Our Asessment
We assessed how her pelvis, hips and spine were moving, together with the surrounding muscles and joints.
The purpose of the assessment was to understand which areas might have been contributing to her discomfort and to determine a suitable pregnancy-appropriate treatment plan.
Our Treatment Approach
Her care was adapted according to her stage of pregnancy, comfort level and assessment findings.
Treatment focused on helping her move more comfortably, reducing tension around the affected areas and supporting the physical changes occurring during pregnancy.
Depending on the individual, care may include gentle chiropractic techniques, joint mobilisation, soft-tissue therapy, pregnancy-support cushions and appropriate home movement advice.
Progress after 3 visits
After three visits, she reported a significant improvement in her pain and walking comfort.
She was able to walk normally again, move more comfortably around the office and carry out her daily activities with considerably less discomfort.
Individual results may vary. Every patient is assessed individually, and the recommended treatment approach depends on their symptoms, clinical findings and stage of pregnancy.
Experiencing Pelvic Pain During Pregnancy?
Pelvic and lower-back discomfort can become more noticeable as pregnancy progresses. A proper assessment can help identify possible contributing factors and determine whether pregnancy-appropriate care may be suitable for you.
